Day 15 of your road trip in Italy is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Milan before saying goodbye to this wonderful destination. If you've still got time left, we recommend doing some last-minute shopping or sightseeing.
One of the best things to do on your last day is to explore Via Monte Napoleone, a street that captures the true essence of Milan. Take your time to uncover its best sides and enjoy its proximity to many of the area’s best attractions.
Explore local shops for souvenirs to remember your trip or find unique gifts for loved ones. Discover boutiques offering an array of stylish fashion choices. Take a break with a cup of coffee or tea while savoring the local vibe in a coffee shop.
Before you conclude your road trip in Italy, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Milan.
If you're in the mood for something new, try Pasticceria San Carlo, another premier location with a delectable menu.
You’ll then say farewell to Milan. Drive to the airport, return your car, and take the opportunity to get some last-minute souvenirs before you board your flight home. We wish you a pleasant journey and hope you leave with many wonderful memories of your road trip in Italy!
